PRESIDENT Mnangagwa has this afternoon announced that the opening of schools for the 2022 first term has been deferred indefinitely as part of measures to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic following the rise in infection rate and deaths over the recent past days.
However, only classes with students who are returning to write the remainder of their 2021 Ordinary and Advanced level final examinations will go ahead and open next Tuesday as scheduled.
Schools were set to re-open on January 10.
“With the exception of examination classes which resume as announced by the responsible ministry, the general school calendar is hereby delayed until further notice.
“Examination classes exempt from this delay are, however, expected to strictly comply with preventive health measures,” said President Mnangagwa in an announcement at State House.
He added that the current Level 2 national lockdown has been extended by another two weeks.
